William Patrick Fyfe, a Canadian handyman, was convicted of killing five elderly women in the Montreal area of Quebec, although he claims to have killed four others. He allegedly killed his first victim in 1979 at age of 24.

He was born in February 1955 (?) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He was raised by an aunt and moved from Western Canada to Montreal, Quebec, in 1958.

DNA evidence led police to charge Fyfe for the murders. Canadian authorities arrested him on December 22, 1999, while he was returning to his pick-up truck after eating in Husky Truck Stop by The O.P.P (Ontario Provincial Police). Like many other serial killers, he has confessed to only a portion of the crimes he is suspected of committing, so the exact number of William Fyfe`s victims may never be known. Fyfe's preliminary hearing began on November 6, 2000. Jean Lecours was the crown prosecutor heading up the case against Fyfe. He is now serving a life sentence in a psychiatric hospital in Saskatchewan.
